Former Weeekly member Jiyoon declined to join the trending GG EZ dance challenge during a recent live broadcast. She cited the song's artificial intelligence origins as the reason for her refusal.
Jiyoon stated she enjoyed the choreography but would not participate because the track is AI-generated. She has previously spoken out against generative AI in music, noting that it reduces opportunities for human artists and that some venues now play such tracks to avoid costs.
The challenge has gained traction among idols including BTS member Jungkook, IVE's Yujin, and ILLIT's Iroha. Jiyoon's stance drew praise from fans who said it raised awareness that the track was AI-created rather than human-produced.
Netizens highlighted her comments as a stand against trends that overlook artist training and effort. The broadcast occurred shortly before July 4, 2026.
